Mean Well ELG-240-36A Power Supply 240W 36V - Adjustable

Yes. The 'A' suffix indicates a built-in potentiometer that allows output voltage adjustment within the rated range. For retail display applications, this enables fine-tuning to compensate for cable drop across long strip runs or to dial in a specific brightness level without an external controller.

Yes. The IP65 rating protects against dust and directed water spray, which suits covered outdoor environments such as building entrance canopies or porte-cocheres where direct rain is blocked but moisture is present. For installations with submersion or flooding risk, the IP67-rated ELG-240-36 is more appropriate.

Yes. With 239.76W at 36V and IP65 protection against directed water spray, the driver handles the moisture and temperature exposure of facade-mounted or recessed architectural fixtures. The -40°C to +90°C operating range covers seasonal temperature variation in outdoor environments.

The ELG-240-36A outputs 239.76W at 36V with a 6.66A maximum current. For a 14.4 W/m strip, 239.76 ÷ 14.4 gives approximately 16.6 meters; for a 10 W/m strip, approximately 24 meters. Confirm your strip's rated wattage per meter and maintain a 20% derating margin for thermal headroom.

The ELG-240-36A carries an IP65 rating, which provides protection against dust and low-pressure water jets from any direction. It is well suited for covered outdoor enclosures and weatherproof boxes, but is not rated for temporary submersion. Installations at risk of pooling or standing water require the IP67-rated ELG-240-36.

Both models deliver 239.76W at 36V, 6.66A, and share identical dimensions and a 5-year warranty. The ELG-240-36A is rated IP65 and includes a potentiometer for output voltage trimming. The ELG-240-36 is rated IP67 (higher water ingress protection) but has no output adjustment capability.
